About Nala

Nala truly is a one-in-a-million kind of dog. Not only is she the superstar Sponsor Dog for Dogs Trust, she also has the most unique, quirky personality that draws you in more and more the better you get to know her. She's a very special girl looking for an equally special home. Having spent most of her life in kennels, Nala hasn't had much experience of home life or the wider world. Because of this, she's searching for a calm, patient, adult-only family who have the time and commitment to go at her pace, continue her training, and appreciate her for exactly who she is. New things, such as unfamiliar people or places, can feel quite scary for Nala, and she needs time and space to build confidence. While she may be reserved at first, once Nala forms a bond she is completely devoted, becoming your loyal shadow for life. She would love a home with her own garden where she can safely explore and adjust to life outside of kennels in a gentle, low-pressure way. Nala can feel conflicted around other dogs, so she would like to be the only pet in the home and enjoy walks in quiet areas where she can decompress without unexpected encounters. True to her lurcher roots, she doesn't need lots of exercise. Short walks, the occasional zoom around the garden, and plenty of rest suit her perfectly. A true queen of comfort, Nala's favourite pastime is burrowing into duvets and blankets. After a gentle walk or a zoom around the garden, she'll happily wrap herself up on the couch and snooze the day away. If you're looking for a deeply special dog with a gentle soul, a quirky charm, and a heart that bonds for life, Nala may just be the one for you.

    Now you've decided that you're ready to welcome a new furry friend in your life, it's time to meet the dogs available for adoption.

    You can search for a dog based on your location and lifestyle. We have dogs available for adoption across the whole of Ireland. While some dogs are based at our rehoming centre in Dublin, many of our dogs live all over Ireland with foster carers or their current owners until they can find their forever homes. The best way to find out how you can meet them is to fill out an application. 

    If you are hoping to adopt a puppy, we're happy to discuss this as part of the application process. Please bear in mind that we don’t usually add their rehoming profiles to our website as puppies grow and change in appearance so quickly.

    Please bear in mind, if you are looking for a very specific breed, size or temperament, or have a very busy household, it may take longer for us to find your perfect match. 

    Many of the dogs in our care may have had a difficult start in life, or have specific medical or behavioural needs, and need a quieter household or one with no other pets. We try to match each dog with a family where we think they will have the best chance of success.
